So you really want to know...
Oh, God...you know I thought it would be easy to talk about myself. Now, all of the sudden, I have a shy
streak. My story is not long and painful by any strain of the
imagination, but that's not why I wanted to build this site. My
story is probably so much like anyone else's and so many people,
including me, feel so alone in their trials and
tribulations.
You'll get the nitty-gritty from my online
journal but here's just a little background in case you're curious:
I was born in July of 1979 (that makes me 22 for anyone reading this
who doesn't feel like doing the math) in southwestern Virginia. I
spend most of my life in Fairfax, Virginia in an average
upper-middle class household. Actually, I feel like it was average
but on a comparitive scale against most people's childhoods, mine
was above average. Here's a shocker: My parents are still married.
Yeah, and what's more...they were only ever married to each other!!
I know, it sounds fantastical, but it's the truth. I have a "little
brother" who now clears my height by a head...he's 20. We always had
pets, my parents still have our dog at thier house and my cat lives
with my husband and me in Columbia, Maryland.
I like my life.
I went to college for 4 years and now I have a solid job with a
major international company. And, even though I'm having this
surgery, which most people consider is merely cosmetic and therefore
just a move to be beautiful and enhance vanity and a low
self-esteem, I like myself. I'm not comfortable with my weight, but
it's because my weight is hindering my health and the lifestyle I
want to lead as a happy, twenty-two year old, woman.
